NotesA birth registration was found for Rose Etches: Year of Registration: 1897; Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar; District: Brighton; County: Sussex, East Sussex; Volume: 2b; Page: 212. Parents: Arthur Etches and Rosa Florence Eames, married 1892, Brighton, Sussex, England.

Rose Eames Etches died between 1901-1911. No death certificate was found.

In 1911, Rose Etches, 14, arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in a group of 116 Barnardo girls en route to Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.

In April, 1911, Arthur Etches, 60, widower, born in 1851, formerly a boiler Rivetter, born in Yorks, Wadsley, Sheffield, England, was residing as an inmate at the Workhouse, 250 Elm Grove, Brighton, Sussex, England.

On January 25, 1915, at Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered between Rose Etches, 18, born in Brighton, England, to Arthur Etches and the mother's name "the Bride has not given. The Mother is dead. She is writing in England to find out"; and William Henry Bird, 22, farmer, born in England to William Bird and Jane Major.

On November 26, 1915, Rose Bird was listed as the next of kin for William Henry Bird on his World War I Attestation Paper. She is shown residing at Agincourt P.O., Ontario, Canada.

William Henry Bird died on January 17, 1917, killed in action at France. He was listed as the son of William and Jane Bird and the husband of Rose Bird, 65 Shannon Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. William is buried at Bully-Grenay Communal Cemetery, British Extension, Pas de Calais, France (Grave Reference: I. C. 7.).

On November 4, 1925, at Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada, a marriage was registered between Rose Bird, 27, widow, born in England to Arthur Etches (mother not known); and William Martin Devitt, 27, clerk, born in the United States to John Devitt and Helen Hickey.

[EDITORS NOTE: On November 20, 1925, William M. Devitt crossed into Canada through the port of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He declared that his intention was to visit his "friend" Rose Bird, who resided at 31 Sheridan Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. As William was a Roman Catholic and Rose was not, perhaps the religious differences forced them to keep the marriage secret for a time.]

[POSSIBLE MATCH] Rose Devitt became a naturalized citizen of the United States in New York on November 11, 1929 - #297947.
